Ritchey Road Logic

I've wanted to own a Road Logic for a while, having read great things about the handling. The geometry fits me perfectly in the size 49, and I could literally just swap contact points over from my Addict and replicate my fit within a couple of mm. Hence, when I saw this blue version on sale 2nd hand for a steel (heh), I just couldn't help myself. Viewed it within a week and rode it home. First impressions were good. Felt a bit weird on the longer 170mm cranks, which will be the first to go. The front end felt sharp in corners, reminiscent of my Tarmac SL2. Stripped it down, sold the groupset and wheels. Will be building it up with spares I have lying around, but would need to order others that I don't have. The plan is to have the Road Logic as my dedicated road bike for spirited bunch rides, long rides, climbs, etc., while my Scott stays as the TT/road hybrid that I race on.

Hi, beautiful build! That steel blue is definitely the best color Ritchey has offered, IMO.

Any chance you'd be willing to share what saddle height you're running here? I'm looking to do a very similar build (49cm, slammed stem), but trying to get a gauge on the saddle height.

Good deals can be had if you're willing to hunt around 2nd hand, especially since the industry is moving towards discs. I'd pity the owner letting go of it, though!
